Description

The present invention relates to a system and method of lighting with electroluminescent diodes used, in particular, for the intelligent lighting of any types of spaces, open or closed.

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) were initially of limited use, for example for aviation control panels and mainframes, due to their limited spectrum and color intensity. Since then, the use of LED lighting has become so diverse that developments in lighting technology and semiconductor construction have led to LED lighting that is brighter, i.e. more intense, and covers every color in the visible light spectrum, such as and in infrared and ultraviolet. in practice, LEDs are now used for lighting not only offices and residences, but also for lighting streets and highways. LEDs' low energy consumption, long lamp life and small size make them an attractive option for use as the main source of lighting for everyday purposes.

Although LEDs have improved over the years, there are still issues with lifetime and the need to change/replace an LED light source when it burns out. Changing and replacing a light source with LEDs can become an expensive process, especially when it comes to street and highway lamps, lamps for hall lighting, lamps in buildings or large halls. consequently, there is a need for a system to solve this problem and provide a more robust lighting system that allows the continued use of energy-saving LED lighting sources.

The solution is known from patent application US 2012/0217882 A1, WONG, C. et al., which presents a system comprising: at least one power source, at least one driver power supply module that can power an LED driver; at least one driver power module including: an input selector that turns on or off (selects) input power to the LED power supply, at least one driver; an output selector that can receive a light sensor input, and a microcontroller that can use the sensor inputs to control light intensity; at least two light sources with light-emitting diodes; at least two light sources with light emitting diodes connected in parallel with each other. An output of the output selector of the at least one driver power module is connected to an input of each of the at least one light emitting diode light source. The microcontroller communicates through at least one light sensor and depending on the signal received from the sensors (a feedback voltage), commands the increase of the light intensity of the LEDs.

Also known from patent application US 2013/0049614 A1, KANG, T et al. a light emitting diode (LED) driver. Which includes a signal generator (PWM Width Modulation) (PWM) configured to generate a PWM signal, a DC-DC converter configured to provide a voltage for multiple LED arrays using the generated PWM signal, and a sensor configured to determine if at least one LED in the LED array is in an on state in response to the input voltage greater than or equal to a first predetermined reference voltage.

in none of the mentioned documents, the microcontroller is programmed in such a way that no matter which electronic part fails, it is automatically replaced by a similar part that is inside the body to be lit. Practically, none of the known solutions refer to a self-repairing body, given that, no matter what light source is used, the surface for which the light body is designed to illuminate is exactly the same as the surface to be illuminated and at the same light intensity at which the luminaire was designed to operate.

An embodiment, according to the present invention, presents a lighting system (LLD) with LEDs.

In one embodiment, an LED lighting system includes the following components: a driver (DRV) or a plurality of drivers (DRV 2 to N) and at least one LED lighting source (LLS) ures from 1 to N (see, for example, fig. 29). in one embodiment, the LED lighting system comprises a plurality of modules (each module consists of a driver and an LED lighting source), see fig. 20, or it can be a plurality of IPMs from 2 to N and a plurality of LED lighting sources from 1 to N, see fig. 30, or it can be composed of several LED lighting fixtures, similar, see fig. 31 and an MCC, IS, OS and LS and can be connected to a power supply (PS). The LED lighting system shown in fig. 31 is a more complex model.

The LED lighting system offers the possibility to customize the longevity and quality of the LED lighting system by equipping it with one or more backup LED lighting sources and two or more many replacement drivers, wherein said device can automatically replace the original LED lighting source and/or the original driver, respectively, when the original LED lighting source or driver becomes inoperative or unsuitable for use. The spare parts of our LED lighting system, according to the invention can be used in two ways. The LED driver and light source with their respective original parts must be used first, and when they become non-functional or defective, they will be replaced with the LED driver and light source that make up the LED lighting system- spare hours.

A second way may be to alternate the available spare parts during a well-defined period. The LED lighting system allows an individual LED lighting source and driver to be used alternately and be used alternately within the time interval chosen by customers to ensure that the LED lighting source individual devices and the driver are kept in a functional state and do not lose their ability to function when they are not in use. Therefore, during the chosen time period, by default, the LED lighting system causes the LED lighting source in use, or the driver in use, to be replaced with a spare LED lighting source, or with a spare driver.

Automated means of performing the replacement can be either via firmware or by remote command with a human operator. Therefore, this LED lighting system is a dynamic device that allows self-repair and replacement of LLSs and/or driver and/or IPM and/or source module respectively, eliminating the need to manually replace a light source, such as a light bulb.

RO 133069 Β1

For example, the longevity of the LED lighting system can be customized 1 to produce a lighting device that can last 10 years, when the device has only one LED light source and contains two drivers. Of the two drivers, one 3 driver is initially selected for use, while the other driver becomes a backup driver, which is not used until the original driver becomes inoperative or defective. 5 When the original driver becomes non-functional or defective, the LED lighting system automatically repairs itself by replacing the original driver with the backup driver from a plurality 7 of backup drivers. since each driver has a shelf life of about 5 years, the LED lighting system, which includes at least two drivers, can have a working life of about 10 years.

In embodiments of the present invention, a driver (DRV) may be an inverter. 11 A driver can also be another type of electrical component(s) that satisfies the input/output requirements of that component. 13 in situations where operation for 20 years is desired, the LED lighting system should be equipped with two LED lighting sources and four drivers. Only one LED light source and driver is functional at a time within the electrical circuit of a functional LED lighting system. Said device 17 establishes an initial electrical circuit by selecting an initial LED lighting source from the two available LED lighting sources and an initial driver from the four available drivers 19 . The unselected LED lighting source becomes a backup LED lighting source, while the remaining three drivers, after the initial driver selection, become 21 backup drivers. The spare LED light source and spare driver are not used, while their original equivalents are in use. in this scenario, two drivers will be used over the lifetime of a single LED light source. As such, within a time frame of approximately five years, the device will self-repair to replace the driver with one of the backup drivers, while during a lifetime of approximately ten years, said device will self-repair to replace the original 27 LED light source with the backup LED light source(s), and it will replace the remaining backup drivers one by one, approximately every five years. 29

By analogy, the lifetime of the LED lighting system of the present invention can be extended to produce a light source that does not require manually changing a light bulb for 30 years, 40 years, 50 years and even more depending on the need for that longevity. 33

Longevity for any length of time can actually be customized, however, for the sake of brevity and clarity, the examples used take into account that the LED light source 35 can last about 10 years, while the driver can last about 5 years. As such, for each additional decade beyond 20 years of 37 use in the example above, the LED lighting system will be equipped with an additional backup LED light source, and two additional drivers. Thus, by39 extrapolation, an LED lighting system with a desired longevity of approximately 30 years will contain three LED light sources and 6 drivers; a desired longevity of41 approximately 40 years will involve the use of four LED lighting sources and eight drivers; a desired longevity of around 50 years will involve the use of five LED lighting sources43 and ten drivers; and so on, adding one LED light source and two drivers for each additional decade of desired longevity.45 In addition, the number of spare LED light sources and drivers may vary for each of the examples above up. As such, an LED lighting system with 47 a 10-year shelf life can be equipped with multiple LED lighting sources, so it has one, two or more LED lighting sources spare, and 49 more than two drivers, so it has two, three or more spare drivers.

RO 133069 Β1

The ability of the LED lighting system or fixture to self-repair comes from the activity of the controller; or the MCC microcontroller and the role it plays in ensuring that said device is functional.

The presented LED lighting system consists mainly of the following: a large number of LED lighting sources, with the respective heatsink, a multitude of drivers, and the input selector, output selector and light sensor and MCC. The LED light sources, with their respective heat sink, are connected to the IPM, which in turn is connected to a power source to establish an electrical circuit. Specifically, the power supply, driver, and LED light source are linked together in a chain configuration as follows: power supply, input selector, driver, output selector, LED light source and the light sensor. In one embodiment, the microcontroller is connected to the input selector, the output selector and the light sensor.

When this electrical circuit is functional, the LED lighting system provides a lighting source that can be efficient and reliable for more than 10 years, depending on the number of drivers and LED lighting sources implemented in the system.

For the purpose of the present invention, the IPM contains various parts: 1) an IS input selector, 2) a plurality of DRV drivers, 3) an OS output selector, 4) an MCC microcontroller, and 5) COM communication interfaces. The PS power supply is connected to the IPM via the IS input selector, while the LED lighting source is connected to the IPM via the OS. The light sensor LS is connected to the LED light source and is connected to the MCC.

The DRVs are within the IPM, the DRVs are connected in parallel with each other, and at one end they are connected to the IS, while at the other end, they are connected to the OS.

In one embodiment of an LED lighting system, the MCC performs a series of voltage evaluations at key intervals and locations along said electrical circuit to determine where the voltage is appropriate for the source type of LED lighting used, and if there are power outages in said electrical circuit, depending on where the outage is diagnosed in the electrical circuit, the MCC can communicate with different modules of the IPM and instruct them to perform a specific function, such as would be replacing the power supply or DRV or lighting source with LEDs.

In an embodiment according to the invention, the MCC communicates directly with the other modules of the IPM. Therefore, to obtain status information regarding the quality of the current coming from the power supply, the adequacy of the current coming out of the IS, the DRV, and the adequacy of the OS of the LED lighting source, the MCC communicates with the IS , DRV, OS and an LS mounted on the LED lighting source. From connecting the power supply to the IS, the MCC measures the input voltage (Vin). In addition, after a DRV is connected to a power source via IS, the MCC measures the OS output voltage (Vout) to determine if the proper voltage transformation has occurred and the appropriate/correct voltage level is delivered to the lighting source with LEDs. When the Vin and Vout values are acceptable, the MCC commands the OS and allows the voltage to pass through it to the LED lighting source by selecting one of the available LED lighting sources.

The Vin value allows the MCC to determine if there is an appropriate level of voltage coming from the power supply, while the Vout value allows the MCC to determine if the proper voltage transformation has occurred and the appropriate/correct voltage level is being fed to the supply of LED lighting. When the Vin and Vout values are acceptable, the MCC commands the OS and allows the voltage to pass through the LED lighting source by selecting one of the available LED lighting sources.

RO 133069 Β1

For example, if a circuit break is detected between power source 1 and the IS, the MCC can directly instruct the IS to connect to another power source or resolve the problem; if the circuit break is detected between the DRV driver and the OS, 3 as long as a break is not diagnosed between the power supply and the IS, the MCC microcontroller commands the IS input selector to connect to another DRV of the 5 plurality of DRV drivers; and if the LED lighting source does not light, the MCC microcontroller will instruct the OS output selector to connect to another LED lighting source 7 from the plurality of LED lighting sources.

For example, if the MCC microcontroller receives the feedback from the LED light source 9 and LS that the emitted light level is not appropriate, it will consider the LED light source to be faulty and command the OS to disconnect from said 11-LED light source, will evaluate the Vout level of the DRV currently in use and if Vout is adequate, it will command the OS to connect the DRV to the next available backup 13-LED light source.

MCC microcontroller communicates with IS, DRV, OS and LS. From the connection of the power supply and the IS, the MCC measures the input voltage (Vin), which is the voltage coming from the power supply into the IS. This measurement allows the MCC microcontroller to determine 17 whether it needs to switch to a new power supply or fix the problem with the existing one, or allow the IS to connect to the DRV driver. 19

The Vin value allows the MCC to determine if there is adequate current coming from the power supply, while the Vout value allows the MCC to determine if21 the appropriate current transformation has occurred and the appropriate/adequate voltage is being delivered to the LED lighting source- hate. When Vin and Vout values are acceptable,23

The MCC instructs the OS to connect to the LED lighting source by selecting an available one from said plurality of LED lighting sources. In this way, an initial electrical circuit path is established.

In one embodiment, the MCC microcontroller communicates with the LED lighting source 27 via a source-sensor combination such as, but not limited to: LED photodiode, LED-LASCR, an LED, and a phototransistor. The MCC microcontroller receives 29 the feedback from the LS if there is appropriate light emitted by the initially selected LED light source. 31 in an exemplary embodiment, when the MCC receives the feedback from the LS that the emitted light is not adequate or that the LED lighting source is inoperative, the MCC 33 communicates with the OS and instructs said OS to disconnect said source of light LED lighting, evaluate the Vout value and instruct the OS to switch to the next available LED lighting source 35 from the plurality of LED lighting sources.

As for choosing another DRV, when the Vout voltage value indicates 37 that there is no current coming out of the DRV or the Vout value is inadequate, the MCC receives the feedback that the DRV is faulty and instructs the IS to disconnect the faulty DRV and to 39 switches to the next available DRV from the plurality of DRVs that are connected in parallel. When a new DRV is activated, a new path is established between the power supply, 41 IS, the new DRV, OS and an LED lighting source.

The MCC can read those voltages using 2 methods: 43

a. Galvanic isolation using galvanic optocouplers.

b. Non-galvanic isolation using a simple divider made of resistors. 45

The input voltage Vin is converted into light by a photodiode. The light is converted back to a voltage that can be read by the MCC via the M-1 analog data bus 47 .

RO 133069 Β1

Using the optocoupler ensures voltage transformation and a very high isolation between inputs and outputs.

In an embodiment of this invention, the IS can be made up of either SSR (semiconductor relay) or ER (electromechanical relay) components. The advantage of using SSR is fast communication, no moving parts, which implies long life and high reliability, and takes up very little space. The downside is that with SSRs, there is less galvanic isolation.

By comparison, the advantage of an ER is galvanic isolation, however it is less reliable than an SSR and it is bulkier, taking up more space. COM communication interfaces can consist of one or more of the following components, depending on the intended purpose: 1) local display device, 2) local keyboard, 3) local service port, 4) WI-FI selector port or Bluetooth, 5) Ethernet and Internet, 6) GSM, 7) Radio Communications Rl, and/or all other possible communication methods or combinations.

The replacement parts for the LED lighting tube 562, 563 of the LED lighting system 20 according to the invention can be used in two ways. The original parts of the 561 module must be used first, and when they become non-functional or defective they will be replaced with the available modules 562 or 563, with spare parts that make up the LED lighting system 20 and the LED lighting tube -hate.

And so on for modules 562 and 563. 7

The MCC 38 communicates with the IS 35, modules 56 and LS 48. From the connection of the power supply PS 10 and the IS 35, the MCC 38 measures the input voltage (Vin), which is the voltage 9 coming from the power supply PS 10 in the IS 35. This value allows the MCC 38 to determine if it is necessary to switch to a new power supply PS 10, or to 11 allow the IS 35 to connect to the module 56.

Once the 561 module is connected to a PS 10 power supply via the IS 35, the MCC 13 38 measures the light intensity with the LS 48. If the light has a suitable quality, the LED lighting system 20, LED lighting tube works at normal parameters. If 15 the light is not of good quality the MCC 38 sends a message to the IS 35 to switch to the next spare module 562 available for connection to the IS 35. And so on 17 for modules 562 and 563.

MCC 38 can communicate with: 1) external remote control R via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 19 Ethernet and GSM and Internet or industrial data buses such as Modbus, Can Open, etc., 2) local display, 3) local keyboard and 4) local service port; Said MCC 38 may 21 be operated automatically or independently following programmed logic written in firmware; when operating automatically, it follows remote commands (to switch 23 IPMs, DRVs, LLSs, etc.

Fig. 32 shows an example of a microcontroller. For example, input voltages 1600 enter the system at respective chips 1602,1603,1604 (eg, current switches S1, S2, S3) which are delivered as voltage 1605, 1606, 1607. Control circuits 1601 are connected to the system , allowing, for example, control of the input selector by the MCC 1608.

Fig. 33 shows an example input selector system. For example, the input voltage 1500 passes through the input selector 1501 having switches S1, S2, S3, which give the voltage 1502. The control of the input selector is performed by the microcontroller 1503.

Fig. 34 shows an example inverter power module system. For example, the power supply 1900 transmits a voltage signal through the IPM inverter power module 1901, transmitted to the light emitters 1902,1903,1904, and read by a light sensor(s) 1905. The light sensor 1905 transmits information to the microcontroller 1910 which is connected to the input selector 1906. in the IPM, the inverters 1907,1908,1909 are set in parallel from the input selector 1906. For example, the power supply 1900 could also be a mains or other voltage signal source. For example light inverters can be a neon tube. For example, the inverter(s) may be a neon tube inverter(s). Switching policies can be time-based switching between inverters or LED switching based on the light level measured by the light sensor. The IPM can work independently or a remote control can be paired with the IPM to work independently. in fig. 34, a service port is presented for firmware update or extracted data for inverter power module status analysis.

in fig. 35, an example of a microcontroller 1800 forming the circuit 1700 is shown. In one embodiment, the role of the microcontroller may be to manage the power module of the inverter. For example, the microcontroller can turn LLS1 and LLS2 on or off based on: time (eg, a period of time such as 1 working day for the first LLS and then the following period of time for the second LLS and so on); and the light level (for example, the light sensor indicates by a signal to the microcontroller that the light level is a certain level and whether this is appropriate or not).

The microcontroller can exchange data with remote external devices and/or with the service PC via the USB service port. The microcontroller can store dated events, update firmware through the service port, and/or control the inverter output voltage or shut down the inverters.

in fig. 36, an example diagram of the digital data converter for the data bus is shown. For example, the COM bus from the microcontroller 2001 feeds into a resistor 2002, and then through a data bus 2003 through 2005 to an Ethernet connection. For example, it can serve as an electrical interface, for example, from RS485 to USART.

Note: Several components can double as spare parts in the LED lighting system. In this description, the LED drivers and light sources are shown how they work in the system. The other components of the system can be similarly implemented in their respective functions and controlled by the microcontroller.

In embodiments, multiple LLSs (minimum 1 and maximum N, where N is an integer greater than one) are connected to the IPM such that only one LLS is operating at a time and regardless of which LLS is being used/ selected, the individual performance of any activated LLS has the same quality in terms of brightness, intensity, color and all other technical aspects.

RO 133069 Β1 in embodiments, the LLS can be switched via an MCC. The MCC is 1 capable of switching the OS electrical output from one LLS to a subsequent LLS or to a different LLS connected to an OS. The command to switch to the next LLS can be done 3 automatically, when the LS LED lighting sensor has indicated that the LLS in use is no longer functional/adequate, or it can be done voluntarily, when an operator 5 human notices a change in light quality and wants to switch to the next available LLS. 7 in embodiments, the MCC microcontroller can work independently in accordance with the firmware or it can execute commands received from a remote control system 9 operated by a human operator by cable or wirelessly using Wi-Fi signal Be it Bluetooth signal, Ethernet or GSM or Internet, radio or other method. 11 in embodiments, the MCC microcontroller communicates with a wireless device to indicate whether the DRV should be replaced and switched to the next available DRV or whether the 13 LLS should be replaced and switched to the next available LLS.

In embodiments, the MCC microcontroller reports status to the assembly via a wireless device interface to indicate if there are any faulty components that need to be replaced. In addition, it is able to find an alternative way to supply the lighting device.

In embodiments, the LED lighting device or LED lighting system 19 provides components that can be used to develop the most advanced and intelligent lighting management system for buildings, to develop the most advanced 21 and intelligent management system for city lighting and all other intelligent lighting applications, including the traffic light system, and can be the primary cell for Internet applications and various lighting and automation applications, using inverters, drivers, to reduce the maintenance cost . Embodiments of the present invention provide for remote switching of the DRV or LLS of the LED lighting system, thereby eliminating the cumbersome procedures of accessing remote locations to replace the lighting source. In addition, the energy cost is greatly reduced due to the use of LLS. An advantage of this would be lower costs and continued functionality, and lower maintenance costs of basic equipment. Also, since the use of backup LLSs and DRVs causes the backup LLS and backup DRVs to alternate, ensuring that better light quality is maintained over a longer period of time, this is an improvement in any LED lighting system currently in existence. 33 in some cases, light quality decreases by 6% to 12% per year. The lighting quality of the LED lighting system of the present invention allows for a 50% to 35-90% cost reduction compared to other LED products currently on the market.
